95% = mean ± 1.96 SEm

SEm = SD/√n
n a planned study, there is a known population with a normal disrubution, \mu= 0, and \sigma=10. What is the predicted effect size (d) if the researchers predict that those given an experimental treatment have a mean of (a) -8, (b) -5, (c) -2, (d) 0, and (e) 10 ? For each part, also indicate wether the effect is approximatley small, medium, or large.
